@FishyFish - some nice results from Lomo CN400 - I must try this film stock again, I got put off a few years ago, getting a couple of 'fat rolls' when using in my Fuji GA645, leading to light bleed on removing the film, but since I don't have that camera anymore maybe the problem will go away.

Thanks David. I've had similar problems when using my GW690 and various films.

I've found that, if I apply some tension with my fingers when first winding the film when I load it (before closing the back), it stays tight on the roll and I don't get any issues with light leaks when removing it.

I read somewhere that the current Lomo CN400 is actually rebranded Kodak Ultramax. Which is nice, as Kodak don't sell Ultramax in 120 format.

Good tip, I've never had a problem with Kodak or Fuji films, and Gold200 has become my default medium format colour film stock as its quite cost effective - that said I still have several boxes of Portra400 in my fridge, having a bit of film month so far, shot 7 rolls so far (sent off to be developed) and have an analogue photowalk in Liverpool on Saturday, so that will be 2-3 more rolls :)

Another 120 tip is don't fully wind the film on after the last shot. That way it maintains tension and won't have any opportunity to unwind itself. Only fully wind it on when you're about to remove it.
 
Sunny tulips.

Silent Sunday post today, pink and yellow tulips taken through a SMC Pentax-M semi macro 100mm f/4 lens on one of those rolls of Portra 160 AW were selling cheap last year, with my Pentax LX.

In the first three of my latest batch, has anyone spotted the name of the co-driver of the rusty heap?
